Abstract

The synthesis of noble metal nano particles attracts an increasing Interest due to their new and different characteristics as compared with those of microscopic phase, that allow attractive applications in various fields. Silver nano particles (AgNPs) have the properties of high surface area, very small size and high dispersion. AgNPs are one of the most commonly used nano materials. The aim of the current study were to use Carica papaya eaves extract for the synthesized of silver nano particles. DPPH and UV- Visible spectra, XRD, HR-TEM. It reveals that nano particles are poly dispersive in nature. This study proves that silver nano particles has radical scavernging potential than the aqueous extract this may be due to the capping agent found in aqueous extract.

Keywords: AgNPs, Carica papaya, DPPH Assay, UV- Visible spectra, HR- TEM, XRD pattern.
